Reading in the last week:
Coffin, Scarcely used by Colin Watson - 1950s crime in seaside town in Lincolnshire - paperback
Our Lady of Pain by M C Beaton - Edwardian Crime featuring Lady Rose Summer and Captain Harry Cathcart - private investigator - e-book
Pursued by Love by Georgia Hill - love story set against the filming of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice - e-book.
The Attenbury Emeralds by Jill Paton Walsh which is a new Peter Wimsey/Harriet Vane story set in 1951 and featuring a case which is mentioned in other Peter Wimsey books. It is very good and I could imagine Sayers herself writing this one - paperback.
What's Up Doc? by Hilary Jones - the doctor who appears regularly on TV - good but not as good as some - e-book.
Cranford by Mrs Gaskell - Victorian life from a female perspective, e-book.
A Medal for Murder: a Kate Shackleton Mystery by Frances Brody - Yorkshire crime set in the 1920s - very good it was as well - I can thoroughly recommend this series. Paperback
A predominance of crime set in other eras.
Currently reading:
The Hedge Fund Wives by Tatiana Boncompagni - chick lit with bling and shopping but seems pretty well written - paperback
Wives and Daughters by Mrs Gaskell - 19th century literature - e-book
What would Jane Austen do? by Laurie Brown - time travel and ghosts - e-book
59 seconds by Richard Wiseman - sort of self help/popular psychology - e-book - I will be writing a post shortly about this type of book - which I've always enjoyed reading.
